As a child, my favorite day was December 6 - St. Nicholas Day - It was the kick off to the whole Christmas Season - St Nick would visit our farm out in the middle of nowhere bringing bags of exotic mixed nuts and oranges - a true delicacy for us in those hard times and the ONLY time of year we were given those WONDERFUL treats!
I stamped my image and colored with a combination of watercolor and prisma pencils - added just a bit of stickles on the bell and crystal snow on the fur trim (doesn't really show in the pic but nice sparkle IRL.
